I guess I'll join in the digression from boxing. I never trust timed sprints like they have in the combine. They're not wearing pads, etc and nobody is chasing them. It's like comparing what someone does on a bag to what they do in a fight.

Having said all of that, and despite Michael Vick's penchant for canine troubles, he is easily the the most athletic and fastest cat I have ever seen in football besides "Primetime". I'll never forget that Sugar Bowl when he basically ran through the entire Florida State defense.

As far as athleticism in boxing goes. I still feel like Sugar Ray Robinson is the archetype for the dancing/fluid fighter. I do agree. Tyson doesn't get nearly the credit for his athletic skills or his boxing skills by the general public that just sees K.O.s. He had a Frazier like slipping ability....and obviously the neck of a bull. I'm still new to boxing (Even at my old age of 42) so I am still learning. I still feel like we watch the evolution of fighters and can't compare them from different eras because of nutrition, training. Sugar Ray Robinson might have been the greatest of them all.
